This isn't a Mexican dish! 68.82.155.232 00:02, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Arroz con pollo is eaten in many parts of Mexico, with many regional variations. It is not necessarily distinctly native to Mexico, but it is a traditional dish there nonetheless, as it is as well in Cuba, Peru, Puerto Rico, and virtually every Spanish-speaking country in Latin America. 69.235.89.184 02:03, 6 December 2006 (UTC)James Lopez

The second paragraph of this article is very flawed. It is true that there is debate over where this dish originated from, but the remarks about beer being an essential ingredient in Puerto Rican cuisine don't seem to have any basis. As a Puerto Rican, I don't know anyone who cooks with beer and this is the only page on the internet I've seen making this claim. There are also no citations for this paragraph. 100.37.66.131 (talk) 23:27, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation backlinks

Valoem left this in my Talk page, and I think the discussion is better here. Mockingbus (talk) 04:39, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi,

I noticed that you were removing a template on arroz con pollo and Hainanese Chicken Rice. The halal guys, arroz con pollo, and hainanese chicken rice are all commonly refered to as chicken and rice. A google search will confirm it. Prior to me making a disambiguation for chicken and rice it redirected to arroz con pollo so there was reason for me to add the double redirect to the halal guys and the other chicken dish on top. Now that the disambiguation page has been made I have no problem removing halal guys and the other chicken and rice from both pages. However, because all three are still commonly referred to as chicken and rice a template link on top to the disambiguation page is appropriate. I hoped to have cleared things up. Cheers!

While I can't speak to the Halal Guys food cart, "Google will confirm it" because these are popular ways to prepare and serve two of the most common ingredients in the entire human food experience. The backlink might make sense with "arroz con pollo" is might make sense on es.wikipedia.org, since "arroz con pollo" is literally Spanish for "rice with chicken", but here on the English wiki, this makes about as much sense as insisting that Kielbasa, Chorizo, and Lap cheung all backlink to "Category:sausages", or that spaghetti bolognese and Hiyashi_chūka both backlink to a disambiguation page for "noodles and sauce". A lot of the subpages in Fried noodles would be the same - note that "chow mein", "chow fun", "yaki udon" and "yaki soba" all translate literally to "fried noodles". It's completely excessive and unnecessary to have the callback at the top of the page; an inclusion in the "See also" seems more than sufficient. Mockingbus (talk) 04:39, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
